+We are really pleased to had the opportunity to enjoy your Ryokan and surroundings of Yunohira. We have fulfilled our dream of spending some days in the real onsen and so much beautiful, calm place. We would like to express our gratitude for your hospitality and so valuable help.

“Very good”
+Nice ryokan Exceptional possibility to use one onsen as a "private" onsen because there were only a few people staying that night. It was the first time I was offered this in many many stays throughout Japan.
−While the ryokan is beautiful in itself, I feel like the pictures and presentation are not as honest as they could be. I specifically paid for a superior room because the pictures made it seem like the windows opened on beautiful vegetation. In fact I had a room that opened on a very noisy river + a modern building on the other side. They do show it barely in one other picture, but that's not the main picture used to advertise the rooms. I was quite disappointed. Also, the description said "includes a shared bathroom"… Reading quickly I thought "includes" meant we had a private bathroom. I don't mind shared bathroom in ryokans, as they are beautiful onsen, but the wording seem deceitful.

“Like a movie - best ever Japanese experience. Please book this ryokan!”
+Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had in Japan, and I lived in Japan for a whole year in the past and have travelled a lot around the whole country. This gorgeous ryokan is located in a stunning hidden gem: yu no hira. I visited Yufuin during the day and it was very busy with tourists, not an authentic Japanese experience despite being pretty with lots of nice shops. I took the train and it was only 2 stops (15 min) to Yu no Hira where this inn is located. The amazing host picked me up from the train station and it was all arranged via booking.com messaging service, so no need to call a Japanese number. The host is an amazing older Japanese man who provided top class service and the building is so beautiful. The town is a historic onsen town and quite rural - I really felt like I was getting the true experience of Japan unlike the big cities or more tourists hot spots. I met some locals at a nearby restaurant because the inn doesn’t offer food due to lack of staff. The town is lesser known and clearly struggling due to lack of tourism (despite the boom of tourists in more popular spots) but it’s the most stunning Japanese village I’ve ever been to - even more than kurokawa o
−Absolutely nothing - everything was 110% and beyond what I would ever expect from a hotel. And the price is SO good considering the service and quality of the hotel!!

“This is paradise on earth!”
+This might be the one of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in! Mr. Shimizu, the owner, is a lovely and very interesting gentleman. Not only he is a great host who has continued the legacy of his family with this unique and very beautiful Ryokan - a magical place with charming traditional rooms and an osen with a Japanese garden. He has a great collection of books and records that he generously shares. His staff is very kind and professional. They picked us up at the station with a welcoming and warm big smile. The village is stunning and the property is in between a mountain and a river. What can we say, it was very hard to leave this paradise!!!
